Abstract

Simplified syntheses suited for large scale preparations of the two hypervalent iodine reagents 1 and 2 for electrophilic trifluoromethylation are reported. In both cases, the stoichiometric oxidants sodium metaperiodate and tert-butyl hypochlorite have been replaced by trichloroisocyanuric acid. Reagent 1 is accessible in a one-pot procedure from 2- iodobenzoic acid in 72% yield. Reagent 2 was prepared via fluoroiodane 11 in a ...
